Falcons Defense Loses Damontae Kazee For Rest Of Season
4 years agoAtlanta Falcons starting free safety Damontae Kazee (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in the Monday night loss to the Packers and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. Kazee was replaced by Sharrod Neasman in the secondary. Atlanta entered the game already down two safeties in Keanu Neal (hamstring) and Ricardo Allen (elbow). Rookie Jaylinn Hawkins started next to Kazee, and Hawkins also left the game with a concussion and was replaced with Jamal Carter. Starting cornerback A.J. Terrell remains on the COVID-19 list, so the Falcons secondary is seriously thin. At least until the team gets both Neal and Allen back, the Falcons secondary will be an exploitable matchup for opposing quarterbacks, receivers and tight ends. Carolina gets Atlanta in Week 5.
